This was taken from inside a sea cave, looking out into the sunlight. My meter read 0 in the darkest areas and 13 on the sunlit sand. I gave the neg normal development.
Scanned carbon print (5x7)

Oh, well...terrible scan, lots of dust on the glass -- far too much to "spot out" in PhotoShop. I'll have to rescan it someday.
aha, I though that looked like selenium toner.... I've found that print color to be my favorite, but not everything works with that golden glow. I think that's one of the argyro qualities I like -- colors from chocolate to warm gray and different contrast from a single negative.
from last xmas in Petersham, MA

Oops, I overlooked the two questions on my post. Yes, the print has a bit more detail, but my print scanning skill aren't very good yet. And the paper was Canson Montval watercolor sized in gelatin. I am looking for something with a smoother surface.
Here's another shot while I am at it:
Couple contributions. Still learning plenty.
1) Cyanotype from Eastern State Penitentiary - 11x14
2) Salt Print from Governor's Island in NYC - 5x7
3) VDB of Angry Wife (not interested in my photography antics that day) - 11x14
#3 used that "mystery lens" Jim kindly sold me. Thanks, Jim! Imagine what that could do if she were smiling! The vertical line on the right side was my careless application of the chemical to the paper....it's not on the neg.
Cheers!
